This s exactly how people get killed. Innocent people. Take away the license. Have her ride a bus or an autonomous car while she watches her Netflix. I had a friend get killed from a 16 year old texting which hit my friend from behind at 50mph knocking him and his wife into oncoming traffic on the highway. This was on coming traffic from the other side of the road. He was simply stopped at a red light at an intersection. a really nice man. His wife is a widow. She sustained bad injuries but lived. The 16 year old did not have two nickels to rub together, living with her parents, and was not badly hurt.
